A Poem by Shannie M Fowler

Outside of myself, I feel rigid and broken.
My surface has been scratched, by what feels like sandpaper.
Underneath, I endure open wounds. Many inflamed, relit and burned by gasoline.
To cleanse with sodium would be less painful.
My heart bruised like a punching bag, never eased.
Many unhealed scars, not visible.
Yet, I choose to smile day to day.
My surface masked by happiness and joy.
Underneath, I choose not to feel any emotional or mental pain.
I live my life as cheerful as I can, for as long as i can fake it.



(I wrote this in 2007 I believe)
